Lost art: read an anolog clock or make change

 

[Carbide]

I've traveled over 300,000 miles on motorcycles. All with paper maps. Never owned a gps

I carry paper maps or print outs all the time hunting or travelling. Never know when no cell service. Which is a lot of times hunting/hiking.
If going to a new place, I’ll look at a map first and jot down a few notes.
Know how to get there BEFORE you go

Being a man I’ve always relied on maps because I could never bring myself to stop and ask for directions.
